Real shame these are not considered in the same class as HD televisions.

I started (long ago) with an 8-track. Well, they went out of style, and no new music as available in this 'old' format, so I had to make the switch to cassettes.

Yeah, these also went the way of the do-do's. Dead media, nothing considered anywhere near to new.

Same thing now with CD's.

Our ever present and intrusive federal government stepped into this fight when TV stations began switching over to HD programming.
Can't have Ma and Pa sitting out there in flyover country not able to see the most recent high definition political ads, so they stepped up and gave anyone that needed it a voucher to allow them to update their older tech for new AT NO COST.

Anyone able to draw a parallel to these actions?
